THE IRIS NEWS 
Hemerocallis (Daylily) 


The Supreme Weatherproof Perennial 


Hemerocallis will thrive anywhere from pole to pole as they are the easiest of all 
plants to grow, either in partial shade or full sun, dry or wet soil. 

When established in your gardens, border or landscaping they will endure beyond a 
century. They are unmolested by either blight or insect pest. 

An established plant produces 8 or more bloom stalks, each stalk producing 10 to 
30 or more blooms. The foliage is attractive from early spring until late autumn. 

Varieties drift into four large groups, one starting to open as the other fades. Thus 
Hemerocallis can be planted anywhere at anytime and when in bloom the Amaryllis-like 
flowers command the lively attention of those who love the beautiful. 

It can justly be called the “perfect flower.” 





A. J. Crawford—-One of the finest. Large, brilliant in combi- 
nation of apricot and cadmium yellow on 86 in. stems all 
through July § 7 

Apricot—Fragrance is something added to the beauty of a flower 
and makes it more attractive. The light apricot-orange blooms 

Apricot are fragrant. If you wish this Hemerocallis to 
bloom earlier it should be planted in full sun. If later bloom- 
ng is desired, it should be in partial shade. This rule applies 
to all varieties 24 

Bijou—Has a plentitude of not large blooms, orange, tinged 
with red. Is valuable in the Rock Garden .39 

Craped Petals—This lemon-yellow hemerocallis with its wrinkled 
petals and large blooms is in a class by itself. It shines with a 
halo all its own 39

D. D. Wyman—Petals of golden yellow, overlaid with rich 
mahogany splashes. Established plants are loaded with large 
dlooms in July and Aug. 39 


Dumortieri—Blooms in June with the Iris. Rich cadmium yellow 
Howers with bronzy-yellow reverse. 18 to 24 in... 19 
Dr. Regal—One of the most delightful of the early group of 
Hemerocallis. The orange-yellow flowers are very fragrant 24 
Fragrant Flava—The scented Lemon Lily of our grandmother’s 
It flowers in June on stems 234 ft. Has a clear, full yellow hue. 
Three years ago an executive of an oil refining company pur- 
~hased of us 300 Fragrant Flava to border the driveway to his 
garage. He states that ‘“‘when in bloom last year the plants were 
a broad ribbon of brilliant lemon-yellow color, filling the air with 
an exceptionally pleasing fragrance.” 
fulva—Across the road from our farm a house fell to ruins more 
than fifty years ago. The cellar walls are outlined with tangled 
vines and shrubs which extend back a score or more of feet. 
And throughout and outlining the mass, the ‘‘old fashioned 
Daylily” Fulva reigns supreme. It has existed and extended 
its occupation at this home site for more than a century and a 
quarter. It has large, coppery-orange flowers, shaded crimson.

firm flowers of soft, canary-yellow. Admitted one of very best, 
“surpassing all others in size, form, color and substance.” 
Many delightfully fragrant blooms. 3 to 4 ft. July-Aug...... .49 


Kwanso—It is my opinion that no flowering plant of any species 
yields a more lovely bloom than the only double Hemerocallis 
Kwanso. With its rich golden-bronze, double flowers coming 
in July and August, it presents an especial charm to any posi- 
tion in the garden, border or landscape picture . = .29 





Mikado-—Leads in popularity of the eyed types. Its color is

bloom in Sept. Originated by Sass of Nebraska Dee eta... 89

Vesta—A just enough flush of orange red at the center of this 


lovely flower intensifies the brilliant, deep cadmium yellow 
eolor and makes it a great favorite. Its color has been called 
a “glittering golden orange”..... 29 


Wau-Bun—The best of the long-flowering season varieties (Dr. 
Stout), beginning to bloom in July and sometimes continues 
right up to frost. The twisted petals are a new, soft yellow, 
sprinkled with traces of red, giving the 6 in. blooms a unique 
and outstanding appearance. Stems up to 3 ft...............- 69 


Winsome—Another attractive and fragrant Hemerocallis, origi- 
nating in Europe. A dainty, soft, creamy yellow........-... 39 
Every Sunday morning we make up a basket of flowers for the 

cemetery. Always a few blooms of whichever variety of Hemero- 

callis happens to be in flower are used to give distinction. 





Gorgeous Oriental Poppy 


I like Oriental Poppies—even the “‘old fashioned red.” A clump 

- any of them will make the other flowers in the garden “stand 

it’ in a way to be talked about. They bloom freely and do well 
in any sunny spot in the garden. An established clump will bear 
a dozen or more flowers, of gigantic size and gorgeous coloring, 
~arying from crushed raspberry to old rose, from deep red to 
>range, from mulberry to white and from salmon to pink. 

The Oriental Poppies bloom with the Irises in happy association, 
forming a striking and lovely garden picture.

The First Customer 


from each of the 48 states had the order doubled. 

When all the states were represented by a first cus- 
romer we started again to double the order of the second 
frst customer from the forty-eight states. This plan is 
repeated for the entire year. 

No matter when you order your plants you have a 
chance to have your order doubled—even to late in the 
fall. Luck may come your way. Somebody wins. : 

In any case you receive generous value together with 
the gift plants which are always included and adjusted 
to the amount of your order. The larger the order the 
more liberal the gifts. 

The Iris will thrive in any soil anywhere and can 
successfully be planted either Spring, Summer or Fall. 


You cannot realize my great surprise and pleasure in having my 
order for plants doubled. You see I did not happen to read your 
item “The First Customer” until after I had received my plants. 
My “chance” came unknown to me and I thank you sincerely.— 
Mrs. J. H. C., Iowa.

Planting Suggestions 


Elaborate planting instructions often prove a nuisance. 

There is only one general rule to follow: Place the plant in the 
ground about as it originally grew. Iris with the rhizome thigh’ 
part of rovl——just covered itn soll, ans sol firmed dris—w2tt 2 es 
transplanted any time from early spring until late fall. Don’t wait~{ 
get them planted. Some varieties have large, fleshy rhizomes ; some 
quite small. 

For Peonies—It doesn’t matter much how the roots are placed if 
the eyes or buds of the plant, where they sprout from the thick 
root, are not placed more than two inches deep from the level) 
surface. 

Oriental Poppies should have an inch of soil above where the 
buds or sprouts start from the roots. They may not show much signs 
of growth until spring. 

Other perennials are easily planted, following the old-time gar- 
dener’s rule—leaves and stems in the air, roots in the ground. 

If fertilizer is needed, sprinkle bone meal or Vigoro on the top 
to the roots. 

Bleeding-Heart—Grandmother’s favorite flower and no modern

What They Say 


“Living in a locality where wind and dry weather make it diffi- 
cult to grow flowers of any kind, I find the Iris will do best of all, 
so I am sending to you for six of ‘your dollar collections as 


follows . . .”—Mrs. F. R. 


“T bought my first collection of Iris from you nearly twenty years 
oe I ESE them and enjoy them each year when they bloom.” 
—Mrs. M. S. W. 


“Please don’t let me miss an ‘Iris News’.’’—Mrs. N. T., Elida, 
N. Mex. 


“Words are futile to describe the beautiful colors of the last col- 
lection of Iris I purchased of you. My garden is larger than I can. 
tend alone so I hired a gardener one day a week to keep it in good 
order. I am a working woman, also housewife and mother. My 
flowers have been a blessing and recreation to me through the years 
—some of them rather lean.” ; 


“I bought Iris plants of you eighteen years ago. They are still 
Boome: sae garden border and as beautiful and lovely as ever.” 
—Mrs. W. D. 


“Thank you very much for the lovely plants you sent me. I will 
always have something to remember you by.’’—Mrs. L. P. t 
“One of the poppy plants bought of you last fall did not grow 
this spring but late this summer it gave forth a nice, thrifty plant. 
which now has three large buds.’—Mrs. E. M. G. g 
Two Heart-full Letters 
They speak volumes for flower gardens. 


“TI have loved ones in the service and in the war industries. From 
overwrought nerves I find courage and relief in working among 
my flowers. I love them more dearly than ever.’—Mrs. E. J. K. — 


“‘A loved one has been ‘missing in action’ for fifteen months. Our 
garden is a great consolation to my husband and myself during this_ 
anxious time.”—Mrs. A. L, R. f 

“Mr, Katkamier: In memory of our soldier boy who 
will never come back, I am building a garden park for 
him, centered with a cement shaft on which there will 
be a flag by day and a light by night. I want flower 
to bloom around the shaft during spring, summer andl 
fall and look to you for the plants.”—J. W. T.

THE Iris NEWS 


AND GARDEN CHATS 


A. B. Katkamier 


Dedicated To All Who Enjoy the Great Out of Doors Particularly Those 








We Are Immortal 


>< 


The greatest thought that can enter the mind is the 
idea of a spirit-life beyond the grave, to continue in 
eternity. 

I believe that the charm of the beautiful things of life 
and nature are a preface to the glorious features of the 
great beyond. May we all look more and more for the 
ever-present beautiful. 

My grave will be under a spreading maple tree in our 
Quaker cemetery. The chemical elements of my body 
will nourish the roots, the branches, the buds, and the 
leaves of the tree. In the springtime the bees will 
gather nectar from its opening blossoms; and in the 
luscious maple honey there will my spirit-soul be found, 
as in all ambrosial delights. 

Through the procession of the seasons I will be in 
the gorgeous iris, the appealing rose, the nodding poppy, 
the stately chrysanthemum and in the multitude of 
other fiowers, in their fascinating fragrances and in 
each seed with its urge to reproduce, that succeeding 
plants may grow and bloom. And in autumn, when 
the maturing leaves take on their lovely colors, there 
will I be in each Nature-painted leaf. 

I will be in the curve of the rainbow with its hues 
of promise, in the rose-tints of the morning and in the 
glorious sunset with its deep purples, its iridescent 
greens, its reds, its gold, and its cerulean blue. 

I will be in the balmy breeze, the refreshing water, 
the invigorating air, the impressive mountain, the 
pleasant valley, the picturesque landscape, the fruitful 
soil, the boundless sea, the brilliant, developing light of 
the sun, the quiet light of the moon and in the countless 
stars sparkling in endless space—there will I be to 
appreciate and wonder. 

I will be in the cheerful song of birds, in hearty 
laughter and in the harmony of all melodious sounds. 

I will be in the art of the mind and the artistry of 
the hand, in the glad greeting of friends, the responsive 
touch of personality, the provocative flash of eyes, the 
ecstatic kiss of lovers, the smiles of children, the buoy- 
ancy of youth, the comforting caress of mothers and 
the understanding fellowship of fathers. 

I will be in the happiness of conversation, the inspira- 
tion of good words, the performance of neighborly 
deeds—wherever there is willing help, steadfast Toyalty, 
confiding faith, thoughtful kindness, the thrill of joy 
and the perfection of beauty. 

Being alive to the grandeur of Nature and the good 
in people is Heaven on earth. 

And thus, exploring the unknown mystical future, 
continuing and advancing my earth-life, evolved into 
the Gracious Over-soul—there will my spirit-soul be 
found having a share with all mankind in the eternity 
of bliss. This is PARADISE. 

For the Life of Yesterday goes on Today and 
throughout all Time. 

Morning and evening do I meditate “on these things.”

i lor taken at our Flower Gardens on the screen. 
‘ Our Gardens are within 20 miles of the Kodak Camera 
Factories at Rochester, N. Y. and people for miles 
around are unusually camera minded. : 

In the past few years hundreds of color movie films 
have been taken of our Gardens in bloom at different 
periods of the year — Tulips, Iris, Oriental Poppies, 
Peonies, Chrysanthemums, etc. : 

Recently we received the following letter from a 
customer at Peoria, IIl.: i Be 

“J wish you could see my color movie film of Iris in 
bloom at my ‘Hillcrest’ Gardens. I ordered your entire 
set of $1 Collections (listed in the attached copy of our 
‘Tris News’) and used them to form a border of 350 ft. 
frontage. I suggest to all who admire my flowers that 
they send to Katkamier for their plants.”

DISTANCE TO PLANT IRIS 


No hard and fast rule can be offered, as distance apart must be 
controlled by conditions. If I wish to establish a “clump” as quickly 


as possible I set three Iris plants about four inches from each other 
in the form of a triangle. In planting out in the field the distance is 
usually 6 to 8 inches apart in the row and the rows 3 to 3% feet 
Bee In forming beds or plots, the Iris are usually 8 to 10 inches 
apart. 


Thank you.
